Now: @jsdron.bsky.social (JD): Age- and BMI-dependent genetic architecture of blood lipids in 2.5 million individuals from globally diverse populations #ASHG25 🧪🧬🖥️

Can’t believe #ASHG25 is finally here! Excited to share what I’ve been working on as lead analyst for the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium 🧬👩‍💻 Join me at the Plenary Session on Friday, Oct 17 (5–6:30 PM) — I’ll be presenting some unpublished results from our genome-wide interaction study 👀

The most math equations written on a whiteboard by a clinician I've seen - yet amazingly well delivered to a broad audience! S. Urbut's talk @broadinstitute.org A Practical Primer on Bayesian Statistics youtube.com/watch?v=jcFS... @mgbresearch.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social

The Catalog isn't just a knowledgebase and source of polygenic scores, we also provide open-soruce tools to make PGS calculation easier and more reproducible! You can find our pgsc_calc tool on github (github.com/PGScatalog/p...) with extensive documentation (pgsc-calc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Let's start with introductions! The PGS Catalog is an open database of polygenic scores and the relevant metadata required for accurate application and evaluation. Everything is on our website www.PGSCatalog.org, and our newest publication describes how far we've come: rdcu.be/d1vTG since 2019!

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

I’ll be speaking (virtually) at the Medical and Population Genetics Seminar @broadinstitute.org tomorrow at 9:30 AM with Dr. Jason Flannick and colleagues. If you’re at the Broad, please join us!

Started a list of early career folks in human genetics! 🧬 Set this up while waiting in line for a tea, so i just added a random few folks to start. Please nominate others and I’ll add throughout the day! #genetics #genomics #humangenetics #informatics go.bsky.app/RG1voNE
